I need a screw...
seriously........I need to replace the tail light screws with longer ones. Where can I find 1 1/2" T15 torx screws? All I can find at Lowes are wood screws and I think I'm looking for machine screws. I also checked Pep Boys with no luck and Home Depot with no luck.
Anyone???

Take yours with you and go to Ace, Menards, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. You can get #8 stainless Phillips head machine screws and stainless counter sunk collars for the whole car for less than $20.00. I replaced all of the black torx on my vert and am very pleased with them.
If yo want the OEM screws PM me and I will send you a few. However I noticed you are wanting something longer.
You may have to use a self tapping screw in a longer version if you have stripped out the mounting clips or utilize another means for the repair.

Ace Hardware has a much better selection of small hardware like screws and such than the big box stores. And, you can buy one or two - or however many you need rather than buy a package with too many or too few.
